    I once used a commercial cleaner without reading the instructions because they were written in atom sized letters l couldn't see. All my chrome bathroom fittings turned brown and had to be replaced. Later l managed to read the instructions using a powerful magnifying glass. It said, "do not use on chrome fittings". Instructions like this should be clearly written so older people can read them.

      Vinegar is acidic, it can cause corrosion just like bleach. If used to clean things, it needs to be washed off as well. It took me a long time to learn this.

    Never use vinegar on grout unless you plan on resealing it. Vinegar can etch the grout. Also on your steamer it works great on mattresses and pillows to help kill dust mites.

      There's no point putting vinegar and baking soda together. The baking soda is a base which neutralizes the acid in the vinegar. It's the acid that cleans.

    BTW, scrubbing bubbles with bleach (in the plastic spray bottle-the can stuff doesn't work as good) works like a miracle on the tub and shower walls, even gets the mold that's embedded between the tiles, just spray and walk away, seriously though, spray really fast.... walk away and leave the windows open and shut the door, this stuff is powerful and will close up your throat, give it 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how bad your stains are, and when you go back, all you'll need to do is rinse it down the drain.

    Absolute nonsense when it comes to the washing machine tip.

Properly diluted Vinegar is far better for all materials than a fabric softener, which tend to be especially harmful for any kind of "technical" sports fabrics. Where I live there's even a full section of different scented "laundry vinegars" in the fabric softener / detergent aisle.

      Can stain chrome. Try diluted on a spot that is not visible. Rinse as soon as you spray on or apply on. Don't let it sit.

    I don’t like cleaning with vinegar at all. I prefer rubbing alcohol over vinegar. That’s my personal preference. Not the oven though. I clean my oven with baking soda and sprinkle it all in the glass inside the oven on my glass stove top. It comes clean and shiny and it gets off all the gunk out of the oven and on the glass oven door. And it’s better and so much less expensive than the stove top clean as were they want at least $10 for an 8 ounce plastic bottle. Went for a dollar, I buy baking soda and get the same amount of use from it. And it’s non-toxic and it doesn’t smell.

    I have tried to use vinegar to clean Keurig and in my steam cleaner. My steam cleaner stopped working so I tore it apart and the main kettle is made of aluminum and was clogged. I'm not sure if it was from the vinegar or hard water.

    • @CleanFreakGermaphobe
      @CleanFreakGermaphobe  3 роки тому +6

      On the steam cleaner it's likely from the water. I empty all of the water out after each use. The minerals form white clumps that over time can clog the machine.

      The best thing for removing mineral deposits is CLR , It does a great job in removing mineral deposits and is biodegradable , One time my lady friend had me check her dishwasher and it wasn't taking on water , So I took the solenoid valve apart and cleaned the parts with CLR , reassembled it and put it back in the dishwasher and now it takes on water like it should , The solenoid valve was clogged with mineral deposits and the CLR got rid of those deposits in a couple minutes
      I would recommend it for cleaning a steam iron but only do it when the iron is cool and afterwards , Fill the tank and dump in out several times to rinse it thoroughly

    • @jasperstarr6804
      @jasperstarr6804 11 місяців тому +2

      Do you have really hard water? Minerals in your water might be neutralizing the acid in the vinegar, which would reduce the damage it could otherwise do. Also, you may have some other sort of coating on the wood floors helping out that not everyone would have.

    I only use vinegar with baking soda in sink and tub drains. That's it. There are much better cleaners available these days which do a far superior job than vinegar. The #1 active ingredient in all vinegar cleaners is never listed - and it is always "elbow grease". You must always work harder to clean anything with vinegar. So many people try to tell me, "Oh, but it's wonderful for windows!" No, it isn't. Armorall Auto Glass Cleaner is wonderful, vinegar is a pain - and a hideous stench!
